carefresh 99% Dust Free White Natural Paper Small Pet Bedding with Odor Control, 50 L

Please do NOT buy this. The smell is absolutely terrible. I cant explain why this bedding smells terrible but it does. I bought this as a brand new sealed bag. From the moment I opened it the first time, it reacked! Even my husband has noticed how bad it smells. I will completely clean out the hedgehog cage including throwing out the bedding. The smells disappears. As soon as I put fresh bedding in the litter pan the smell is back. It smells before our hedgehog even gets a chance to use it! It smells worse than the hedgehog pee and poo combined. I am willing to give carefresh another shot by buying the white (ultra) or pastel colored bedding instead of this one. if the other bedding smells too then I will have to switch. We cant take the smell.

I was surprised and kind of disappointed how firm and rough this paper bedding was compared to other brands. Good value though.

We have tried all types of bedding for our GPs and this stuff worked the best. Its easy to use and clean and you dont need a lot. Cheap and soft for piggie feets. No dust!

UPDATED 2-25-18 I used to love Carefresh. (I originally gave it 5 starts). However, over the the past year I’ve noticed a slight decrease in softness of the product, but it was still worth it for the price ($10 - $13 per large bag). Now that the price has increased, I cannot justify purchasing it for $19 - $20. So, I switched to small pet select, and I like it better. Its less expensive, softer, and doesn’t have the funky smell that Carefresh does.

Great value, serve their purpose. My hamster made a hole to sleep on it :)

I have had many hamsters over the years. Due to this fact, I have also purchased many types of beddings as well as different types from various companies. I would say that this bedding is my favorite and the only one that I have continued to buy and stuck with. The bedding does a great job of retaining smell and is comfortable enough for my hamster to snuggle up in.

Would buy again, only bought because my other kind i buy was out of stock but this one isnt bad , there is minimal dust ,holds in oder, and best of all my bunny doesnt seem to mind it. Just wish it was in a bigger package!

Let me start off by saying I use Carefresh ALL the time. I use it for my Rabbit’s litter box, along with my hamsters cage. Now- I’ve never had any issues with the products in the past. I reordered the bedding and needed it the day it arrived. I opened it up and immediately noticed all the dust that flew out of the package. I put a layer in my rabbit’s litter box and noticed it was SUPER dusty and super clumpy. It’s still usable I guess, but not the quality that I’m used to getting. Im thinking maybe I got a bad batch or something. If I hadn’t needed to use it that day, I’d be sending it right back. I’m still going to order again, but if I get the same type of product, I’ll just deal with the inconvenience and go to the pet store.

Good product, can’t really smell the scent. So I’d take it or leave on the feature - reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Buying again.

For some reason the blue is softer than the cardboard colored stuff. I give her a mix, and the hamstress will stock her living room with the brown, but make her sleeping nest with the blue. Apparently she like the blue best. I guess I cant comment on how it does with odor because she doesnt go in her bed.
